The feature is currently marked at-risk, meaning it will simply
be dropped if there isn't enough implementor interest; lack of
implementation will not hold up the module. I would prefer to
leave it in the draft for now, in case an implementor later
finds it relevant. Let me know if this is acceptable.
As for use cases, I'm not a graphics person, so I can't really
draw you a convincing example. But designers often like to break
the visual box, and this gives them an easy way to do it without
messing with extra markup and/or negative margins. Brad drew an
example of this for border-image. Using background images gives
even more control over the placement of the graphical elements.
